I've updated my game, i've used the ultimate fix and still i can't play my game. the launcher starts and when i click play the screen goes black and there is a blue rotating circle and thats all nothing happens after that. please help I am sooo frustrated!

Okay, let us try this:Go to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 and edit the Options.ini file. There, change the 'fullscreen' attribute'.Then launch your game. It should be in windowed mode. Does it help?

so should i change it to windowed mode? and also when i click play a window pops up saying the publisher cannot be verified, do you still want to run the program. is this somethign that i should fix or just leave it alone?

The "game publisher cannot be verified" error is a Windows error, so just click that you wan't to proceed nevertheless.Please check that your game is up to date, that you applied the Ultimate Fix correctly (the last one), that you have the latest Store Fixes and that your graphic drivers are up to date.

i had the same thing happen to me, i started cursing the computer so after 3 attempts i decided to move my mods folder and it worked its just a suggestion not saying it will work for your case but its worth a try if you have a mods folder

I dunno what it is but for me I had same issues, Seems the new NRASS mods are causing it as I removed mods folder, worked, added back not worked, checked updated mods, still not work, removed NRASS mods, worked.
